Catching Up

So, I’ve had this Blog for only 6 weeks, and so far I’ve been neglecting it like a cheap household plan. I first tried to catch up by documenting all of the nuances and innuendoes of my life over the past three weeks, but found myself overwhelmed by the amount of information. Therefore, I’ve decided to post the Cliff-notes version instead so that I can get back to posting relatively current happenings in the detail that I like. Therefore, without ado, here it is:

• Moved from Boston on 6/1 and dropped all of my belongs off at my sister’s house in NJ, and got to spend a great four days with her, Josh and The Mads (my niece Madeline). They are all doing really well, proudly creating their own brand of chaos with a new house and daughter, and Madeline is turning into the cutest thing with ten toes and fingers.

• I moved back to my parents house for two weeks while I waited to leave the country, and was startled with how easy it was was to live with them again - albeit for two weeks. But still, it was pretty damn impressed considering I’m nearly 30, was living with my parents, and have a decent ego and sense of pride

• Left for England with my Dad on 6/17 and was totally heart-broken that we had to leave my Mom alone at the airport dropoff. She’s a seriously tough cookie though, so I’m sure she is dealing with it in her usual calm and functional way.

• Been in England now with my Dad for about three days, and our time here has been perfect for what we planned to do (watch cars, talk about cars, and spend time together watching and talking about cars) but pretty damn frustrating at times with various unpredictabilities like a blown tire 30 minutes after getting our car, losing our car for two hours in a parking lot, and taking two more hours the next day to get a parking permit for our car. So in that case, cars have been the pinnacle and downfall of this entire trip. Go figure.

Ok, so that’s pretty much the skinny on what has been going on.
